The consistency problem

When your PPM says a 2% management fee and your operating agreement says 2.5%, that's a securities issue. When the subscription agreement references a provision that doesn't exist in the OA, someone has to find it. OpenShut generates all six documents from one set of inputs so terms, defined terms, and cross-references stay aligned across every document.

Six documents, each with the sections that matter

Six fund types
